  • Candy Melts: Feel free to use whatever colors you’d like! You can do a combination of purple, black and white candy melts to be more witch themed; you can do the orange, white and black for more of a pumpkin like look; or you can do green, black and purple! 
  • Ritz Crackers: Easily scale up or down this Halloween crackers recipe by using more or less crackers. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Melt the candy melts. Place the colored candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls. Melt according to the package directions (I did 30-second increments and stirred after each interval).

  1. Dip the Ritz Crackers. Once the chocolate is melted, dip the Ritz crackers into the bowls and flip to fully coat. Tap off any excess by tapping the crackers against the edge of the bowl. Place the chocolate coated crackers on a sheet of wax paper to set at room temperature.

  1. Drizzle or decorate. Decorate these as spider crackers or mummy crackers by using white candy melts on black dipped crackers. Use black or white candy melt on an orange cracker and draw jack-o-lantern faces for pumpkin crackers! For something super simple, drizzle the different colors on top. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

1 oz of chocolate will cover 4 Ritz crackers. If you want to make more than 12 crackers, melt more chocolate. 

You want to microwave the candy melts in increments to reduce any previously melted areas from burning. Stir after each interval to create a smooth texture.

Make Ahead, Storing, and Freezing

Make these Halloween party crackers ahead of time and store in the fridge (to keep the candy melts set) in a ziplock bag until ready to serve.

These will keep for up to 10 days so I don’t think you’ll need to freeze them! Plus they are so easy to make that if you need to whip up more just melt more candy melts and dip away!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use chocolate chips?

Sure you can! However, you’ll be limited to white chocolate chips and regular chocolate chips. Using the candy melts is a great way to add in some color. You can also use white chocolate chips and food coloring if you’d like!

How do I draw designs on the Halloween crackers?

I would put the melted candy melts in a piping bag (or ziplock bag with a teenie tiny corner snipped off). You want a really fine tip to make the piped lines small. 

Do crackers go out of date?

Yes they can go stale. Be sure to store the crackers in an airtight container to stay good longer. 

Can I use graham crackers or saltine crackers? 

You can, but the great thing about Ritz crackers is they are circular. So you can draw on faces and turn them into spider webs and ghosts! If you are just doing Halloween colors and using sprinkles to decorate you can definitely use different crackers.
